Request Registration of a Gaming or Streaming Device

Tags Register

What is this?

Request to have TV, gaming or streaming device connected to the BSU-Residential-PSK wireless network.

How is this used?

Do not register another person's device under your name; only register devices that you personally own.

You will need to enter the wireless MAC address of the device when filling out this request. Please review the following information to find your device's wireless MAC address prior to starting the form.

Please pay particular attention to the difference between the digit 8 and the letter B. They are easy to mistake with certain fonts.

Please note that it may take up to 24hrs, or the next business day, to process your registration request. All responses will be sent to your BSU/NTC email address.
